Thunderbird – Variegated – White, Silver, Steel Grey, Blue
The thunderbird is a legendary creature North American indigenous peoples' history and culture. It is considered a supernatural being of power and strength. It is especially important and frequently depicted in the art, songs, and oral histories of many Pacific Northwest Coast cultures, but is also found in various forms among some peoples of the American Southwest, East Coast of the United States, Great Lakes, and Great Plains. In modern times it has achieved notoriety as a purported cryptid, like creatures such as Bigfoot and the Loch Ness Monster.
In Algonquian mythology, the thunderbird controls the upper world while the underworld is governed by the underwater panther or Great Horned Serpent. The thunderbird is said to create thunder by flapping its wings and lightning by flashing its eyes, which it casts at the underworld creatures.
Thunderbird will be available to ship on select bases, other weights may be available as a special order. Multiple skein orders may be dyed-to-order ensuring a proper dye match.

Color nuances may vary based on your computer screen settings. Hand-dyed yarn color will vary slightly, and you may notice minor shade or variegation differences between skeins and batches. Please be sure to purchase all yarn needed for a project from one batch, and alternate skeins to minimize color pooling or striping.

Why does my yarn look different from the photo?
Photos on the product listings are examples of the colorway you will receive. I try to include different bases as the different fiber contents can take the dye differently. I use the same dye formulations when reproducing colorways, but due to the hand dyed nature and the difference in computer screens, the product you receive my look slightly different than the original photo. The appearance of the colorway and the saturation may differ from time to time, which adds to the uniqueness of the yarn. Multiple skein orders will always be dyed together to help ensure consistency within ordered colorways.
My order is wrong? What should I do?
Contact me via the form on the website. I am sorry but occasionally I could mix-up skeins when packing orders, but I will always make it right.
RETURNS & EXCHANGES
Please be aware when placing your order that skeins and fibers are hand dyed, and natural variations in color should be expected. Slight differences in colorways or light spots may occur and these are not reasons for return.If you have a problem with your order, please contact me within 14 days of receipt. I put a lot of time into producing quality products and fulfilling orders. With that said, I will only accept returns on items that are still skeined and in the condition that it was sent to you. I do not accept exchanges. Returns or refunds will not be issued for shipments made to incorrect addresses or for shipping charges.
All yarn is shipped with the original ties on each skein. Returns are not accepted on 'tangled' yarn. It is the responsibility of the customer to correctly transition their yarn from a skein to cake/ball prior to knitting.
Returns are not accepted on custom ordered yarn or one of a kind yarn. Exceptions include incorrect orders or damaged items.
